I think it is 'Brigadoon' tartan, Arlen!
"No such thing", I hear you say. Ah, but if you look closely at the kilts worn in the film of 'Brigadoon' you will see that the tartans contain Lurex threads running through the various setts - just like Wee Hamish's kilt!
What a fun Party kilt a full-size version would be! 
Take care,
Ham.

Woh, that's something I should work on. Sculptures of kilted people. Although the ceramic doesn't work so well for a standing human sculpture; the legs are too skinny. I could do a relief sculpture tile of a kilted person though, or a shepard sitting on the hillside with his sheep.

What a wonderful gift & surprise! Though it seems appropriate, Hamish, since you are the model kilted gentleman.
Well done, Jamie & Star!
